The essay is incomplete. The summary overview does not state several considerations such as :

1. What is the measurement method used?
2. What are the factors that were considered?
3. What is the spending trend on the upward and downward considerations?

As such, the summary overview will not receive a passing score. Simply meeting the word count using the other paragraphs does not mean the analysis essay will receive a passing score. It needs to be properly developed as well.

the last paragrpah is also under developed in terms of analysis considerations. It should have at least 3 sentences in it to qualify as a complete paragraph. Writing less means the information is not properly analyzed.
